let us listen. let us listen. too often we have ignored this joyful historical lawyers becoming in the process blissfully ignorant of the power of those have wives and stories and moments have over this moment and indeed the vast unknown future. i am interested in that power of history and its many varied voices. not the voices of the top down version of our past which convince us that american history is only the story of great men and certainly not those voices that have recently entered our study. voices which seem to suggest that american history is only a catalog of white european crimes. are you interested in listening to voices of a true honest complicated pasts that is unafraid of controversy and tragedy but equally drawn to those stories and moments that suggests an abiding faith in the human spirit and particularly the unique role this remarkable but sometimes dysfunctional -- more on that later -- republic seems to play in the positive progress of mankind. that quite simply has been mike reid, the men's

but before we get to anything, let us listen to ann coulter once again. >> anyone who donates to mitt romney, and i mean the big donors, ought to call mitt romney and say, if andrea saul isn't fired and off the campaign tomorrow, they are not giving another dime. because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has, to respond to an ad like this by citing health care in massachusetts?! >> listen, but we're watching and witnessing here -- >> no, i'm serious about this! >> i know you're serious. i agree with you. >> there's no reason doing your show, there's no point in us going to a convention and pushing for this man if he's employing morons like this. this ad is the turning point and she has nearly snatched victories from the jaws of defeat. she should be off the campaign! >> and here is what coulter said later in the show about how republicans ouide the romney campaign are better at countering the obama campaign's attacks. >> we can do it better without the drag of romney's campaign spokesman, who, by the way, came from the mccain campaign. great ide

us? let's just take a couple of the beatitudes and listen to them not from a faith community perspective, but from the perspective of that religious impulse and how jesus, as he's drawing together a new group of people, and planting the seeds for a new world religion that will become christianity, this is what he must do to redefine identity and relationship. once again, "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" - a self-emptying, a different kind of feel from the rugged individualism, the eye-for-an-eye, tooth-for-a-tooth idea that came out of the earlier religion judaism. "blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." "blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." what jesus is saying is that there's a whole new way of being, different from an ego-driven or an ego-oriented or angry way towards a neighbor - a completely new identity and completely new relationship. he moves on in the beatitudes, into an interesting balance between what we thought was the right teaching, and what comes back to being his new way of relating to people, and

let's take a listen to his zaniness. >> we used to say, we used to say as republicans it was the statesates and we have a department of education that is consuming $100 billion, and it's back to go back to the republican roots that says we believe in abolishing the department of education. [ cheering ] >> jennifer: abolishing the department of education among a number of other things. has he moderateed his views at all over the past two years? >> senator rand paul knows how to deliver up conservative red meat, but you don't have to look farther than his endorsement of mitt romney to say he has his political future in mind. he's sticking in the middle. he's thinking--he won't say that he's thinking about '26, but you got to know that he's thinking about some political future. he has to be more moderate than his father. that's why he actually has a chance of winning and furthering on in higher office, where his father has not really been successful in that vain. >> jennifer: that's very interesting. let's say you've got three or four new tea party republican senators come november. you wa

let's listen. >> his $716 billion cut to medicare to finance obama care will hurt today's seniors and depress innovation, and jobs and medicine. >> and the medicare line he spoke was the same one used. let's listen. >> even with all the hidden taxes to pay for the health care take over. even with the new law and new taxes on nearly a million small businesses, the planners in washington still did not have enough money. they needed more. they needed hundreds of billions more. so, they just took it all away from medicare. $716 billion funneled out of medicare by president obama. >> and then there was this untrue narrative that obama has diminished america in the eyes of the world. let's listen to that. >> it's striking how president carter and president obama both took our nation down a path that in four years weakened america's confidence in itself and our hope for a better future. >> both weakened the respect for america abroad. >> anyway, tonight, mitt romney in his big speech that president obama raised taxes on the middle class, but he didn't. let's listen to him. >> and let me make this very clear. unlike president obama, i will not raise taxes on the middle class of america.
